disabling error reporting

[Bob]

Crystal 9.2 causes my application to crash when the user is on a slow
computer, gets bored waiting for the reports COM components to load and
switches focus to another window. It locks my app up hard and the user is
forced to kill it with Task Manager. I'm so getting rid of Crystal the first
chance I get.

Anyway, when this happens the user is prompted to send an error report to
Microsoft. Well, I don't want any particulars of my application sent to
Microsoft, ever. Is there a way I can compile my app to tell error reporting
to ignore it? I really, truly don't want to have to tell each and every user
not to use error reporting (users are very unreliable), or walk over to
every single machine and disable it.

Alternatively, you could try putting your call to crystal in its own thread.

Hi Bob

This is really an operating system question, but here's your solution:

Clist START, RUN, type 'regedit' (without quotes) & press ENTER

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main"

In the right pane, right-click & create a new DWORD called
'IEWatsonDisabled' & set its value to 1
Now, right-click in the right pane again & create another new DWORD called
'IEWatsonEnabled' and make sure its value is 0 (zero), which is the default
value

Close the registry editor & restart to make sure the changes have taken
effect. Of course you don't need to restart, but it won't hurt to do so.

If you plan to re-enable error reporting in the future, just reverse the
values created (IEWatsonEnabled = 1, IEWatsonDisabled = 0).

I hope this helps you

There is no way to do it just for my application? Some compile property?
